Due to her age and status as a single parent many people in Tree Hill believed the Café would fail. However, it became a strong part of the town and was highly successful, with offers for Karen to expand the cafe and open others in surrounding town. As well as Haley in the cafe original run Karen employed Jake Jagielski (and helped to babysit his young daughter) and Brooke Davis (while she was living with Karen) as well as her son Lucas.

However, former Karen's Café waitress Haley James Scott decided that after the birth of her second child that she wanted to reopen the café so her children could grow up in the wonderful environment that she did. To accomplish this, Haley converted the empty clothing store into a café while Brooke was on holiday and asked Brooke if she could continue to convert the shop. Now pregnant herself, Brooke agreed to reopening the small café, wanting her children to enjoy it as well. She asked Haley if she could be a partner, to which Haley agreed.

Rooftop

During the years in which they became friends, Lucas Scott and Haley James spent a lot of their time on top of the roof of the café. Up there, they often had water balloon fights which resulted in one of them surrendering as well as them having a miniature golf course on the roof to occupy themselves outside of high school. It was often known for the two to throw water balloons at young children or old men walking around the street below. This was often something to let their anger out on.

Haley and Lucas also had a yearly tradition where they would make a prediction as to what they want to happen over the next year. Then they had to try and make it happen and check each other's at the end of the year, they made friendship rules never to tell each other's predictions outside of them two. They would place the predictions in a tin box and put it behind a loose brick in the wall so no one could ever find out about it. But while in their senior year Haley made her predictions and then tried to show her husband Nathan who instead made his own predictions; which both Haley and Nathan revealed to each other on their prom night.
